    Triggering intrusions of phreatic eruptions are often observed as seismic and ground deformation signals on a time scale of minutes. The current understanding of hydrothermal intrusions still needs improvement to obtain insight into the eruption scale from the observables. We examine local geophysical data from the precursory hydrothermal intrusion of the 2018 phreatic eruption of Kusatsu‐Shirane volcano. To achieve an integrated intrusion model, we divide analyzing time window into the onset, middle, and climax. Focusing on the transient response of tilt data for the sudden pressurization, we estimate a vertical tensile opening (1.7 × 103 m3/s in 40 s) at 1.1 km depth for the intrusion onset. Pressurization can represent the start of vapourization. Very long period (VLP, 0.033–0.1 Hz) seismic signals are adopted to constrain the middle and climax phases. We obtained two sequential semi‐horizontal tensile crack oscillation sources with peak volume changes of 3.6 × 104–1.9 × 105 m3 at 0.3–0.6 km depths. The second VLP source acted as a final trigger of the eruption to cause depressurization in the shallow portion of the intruded region, which is constrained as having reached 0.1 km depth by surface deformation. Simultaneously, we find another depressurization originated from depth in the climax due to a decrease in the hydrothermal intrusion rate. Through comparison with the 2014 Ontake phreatic eruption, the total inflation volume may correlate with eruption scales. Intruded hydrothermal fluid and local structure characteristics also may have to be considered to evaluate the eruptions scales from inferred signal source intensity.

    Abstract Volcanic tremors and earthquakes must be monitored to gain insights into volcanic activity. Localization of their sources is often challenging because of the unclear onset of seismic waves, particularly when the volcanic activity increases before and during an eruption. Existing alternative techniques to locate the seismic sources are based on the information on the spatial amplitude distribution or the travel-time difference of seismic waves. Exploring the idea of combining both information for source location determination, we propose a new location method that uses the amplitude and travel-time difference information obtained from the unnormalized cross correlations of seismic data. Evaluation using volcanic earthquakes that occurred in 2020 at Tokachidake volcano, Japan, reveals an improvement in location accuracy compared to existing methods using individual information. Analysis of an episode of volcanic tremors and earthquakes accompanying a rapid tilt change event on 14 September 2020 reveals that during the inflation of the crater area, reliable seismic source locations with an error of ≤1 km become more concentrated at around 0.6 km beneath the 62-2 crater, in which the most recent eruptive activity had occurred. Such changes in source locations are associated with the movement of volcanic gas and hot water from the hydrothermal system below. Our proposed method is useful for locating and monitoring seismic source locations corresponding to volcanic fluid movements.

    We tried infrasonic monitoring of snow avalanche at Mt. Fuji. We installed infrasound sensors, a thermometer-probe snow-depth meter, and seismometers for two winter seasons from 2018 to 2020 and made integrated analyses of their data. Although no significant snow avalanche event occurred during our observation, we found many infrasound waveforms similar to the reported snow avalanche infrasound. Because the infrasound events accompanied little seismic power, we inferred surface phenomena, if not necessarily snow avalanches, generated them. The events’ occurrences were concentrated during and right after snow-falls and during snow melting. The infrasonic array analyses of the 2019-2020 dataset exhibited most of the events are from the north slopes below the observation site. From the summit direction, continuous infrasonic noise was frequently detected, by which detecting events from there might have been difficult. This study has shown that the multi-parameter observation method is practical and useful in the severe environment of Mt. Fuji in winter. Also, it revealed the particular problems of infrasound observation at the huge volcanic edifice. We expect our results will help design future observations.

    SUMMARY To obtain an internal S-wave velocity structure, we conducted a passive seismic campaign with 21 1-Hz seismometers on and around the Showa-Shinzan lava dome, which emerged during the 1943–1945 eruption of Usu Volcano, Japan. Before the campaign, we calibrated seismometers and found slight phase-response differences between seismometers of less than 1–2°. After the campaign, we extracted seismic wavefield by taking cross-correlations of vertical-component ambient noise records between seismic sites. We developed a new method to measure phase velocities of the Rayleigh wave automatically by assuming layered structure and finally obtained 1-D S-wave velocity models in summit, roof and base regions. The obtained S-wave velocity right beneath the intruded lava dome is higher than that in surrounding areas by a few tens of per cent down to a few hundred metres below sea level, indicating narrow but deep existence of the root of the lava dome. The obtained S-wave velocity at depths shallower than ∼50 m inside the lava dome in the summit area was ∼1 km s−1, significantly lower than that predicted from the density of  2.3 × 103 kg m−3 estimated in previous muon-radiography studies and a conventional scaling, indicating the effect of cracking in the lava dome.

    AbstractWe estimate the mass and energy budgets for the 2018 phreatic eruption of Mt. Motoshirane on Kusatsu–Shirane volcano, Japan, based on data obtained from a network of eight tiltmeters and weather radar echoes. The tilt records can be explained by a subvertical crack model. Small craters that were formed by previous eruptions are aligned WNW–ESE, which is consistent with the strike of the crack modeled in this study. The direction of maximum compressive stress in this region is horizontal and oriented WNW–ESE, allowing fluid to intrude from depth through a crack with this orientation. Based on the crack model, hypocenter distribution, and MT resistivity structure, we infer that fluid from a hydrothermal reservoir at a depth of 2 km below Kusatsu–Shirane volcano has repeatedly ascended through a pre-existing subvertical crack. The inflation and deflation volumes during the 2018 eruption are estimated to have been 5.1 × 105 and 3.6 × 105 m3, respectively, meaning that 1.5 × 105 m3 of expanded volume formed underground. The total heat associated with the expanded volume is estimated to have been ≥ 1014 J, similar to or exceeding the annual heat released from Yugama Crater Lake of Mt. Shirane and that from the largest eruption during the past 130 year. Although the ejecta mass of the 2018 phreatic eruption was small, the eruption at Mt. Motoshirane was not negligible in terms of the energy budget of Kusatsu–Shirane volcano. A water mass of 0.1–2.0 × 107 kg was discharged as a volcanic cloud, based on weather radar echoes, which is smaller than the mass associated with the deflation. We suggest that underground water acted as a buffer against the sudden intrusion of hydrothermal fluids, absorbing some of the fluid that ascended through the crack.

    AbstractKusatsu-Shirane volcano hosts numerous thermal springs, fumaroles, and the crater lake of Yugama. Hence, it has been a particular study field for hydrothermal systems and phreatic eruptions. On 23 January 2018, a phreatic eruption occurred at the Motoshirane cone of Kusatsu-Shirane, where no considerable volcanic activity had been reported in observational and historical records. To understand the eruption process of this unique event, we analyzed seismic, tilt, and infrasound records. The onset of surface activity accompanied by infrasound signal was preceded by volcanic tremor and inflation of the volcano for ~ 2 min. Tremor signals with a frequency band of 5–20 Hz remarkably coincide with the rapid inflation. We apply an amplitude source location method to seismic signals in the 5–20 Hz band to estimate tremor source locations. Our analysis locates tremor sources at 1 km north of Motoshirane and at a depth of 0.5–1 km from the surface. Inferred source locations correspond to a conductive layer of impermeable cap-rock estimated by magnetotelluric investigations. An upper portion of the seismogenic region suggests hydrothermal activity hosted beneath the cap-rock. Examined seismic signals in the 5–20 Hz band are typically excited by volcano-tectonic events with faulting mechanism. Based on the above characteristics and background, we interpret that excitation of examined volcanic tremor reflects small shear fractures induced by sudden hydrothermal fluid injection to the cap-rock layer. The horizontal distance of 1 km between inferred tremor sources and Motoshirane implies lateral migration of the hydrothermal fluid, although direct evidence is not available. Kusatsu-Shirane has exhibited unrest at the Yugama lake since 2014. However, the inferred tremor source locations do not overlap active seismicity beneath Yugama. Therefore, our result suggests that the 2018 eruption was triggered by hydrothermal fluid injection through a different pathway from that has driven unrest activities at Yugama.

    AbstractThe tectonic stress field was investigated in and around the aftershock area of the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake (MJMA = 6.7) occurred on 6 September 2018. We deployed 26 temporary seismic stations in the aftershock area for approximately 2 months and located 1785 aftershocks precisely. Among these aftershocks, 894 focal mechanism solutions were determined using the first-motion polarity of P wave from the temporary observation and the permanent seismic networks of Hokkaido University, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), and High Sensitivity Seismograph Network Japan (Hi-net). We found that (1) the reverse faulting and the strike-slip faulting are dominant in the aftershock area, (2) the average trend of P- and T-axes is 78° ± 33° and 352° ± 51°, respectively, and (3) the average plunge of P- and T-axes is 25° ± 16° and 44° ± 20°, respectively: the P-axis is close to be horizontal and the T-axis is more vertical than the average of the P-axes. We applied a stress inversion method to the focal mechanism solutions to estimate a stress field in the aftershock area. As a result, we found that the reverse fault type stress field is dominant in the aftershock area. An axis of the maximum principal stress (σ1) has the trend of 72° ± 7° and the dipping eastward of 19° ± 4° and an axis of the intermediate principal stress (σ2) has the trend of 131° ± 73° and the dipping southward of 10° ± 9°, indicating that both of σ1- and σ2-axes are close to be horizontal. An axis of the minimum principal stress (σ3) has the dipping westward of 67° ± 6° that is close to be vertical. The results strongly suggest that the reverse-fault-type stress field is predominant as an average over the aftershock area which is in the western boundary of the Hidaka Collision Zone. The average of the stress ratio R = (σ1 − σ2)/(σ1 − σ3) is 0.61 ± 0.13 in the whole aftershock area. Although not statistically significant, we suggest that R decreases systematically as the depth is getting deep, which is modeled by a quadratic polynomial of depth.

    We conducted an active seismic experiment in Sakurajima volcano in December 2019, three years after the similar experiment that was conducted in 2016. We deployed 185 temporary seismic stations, most of which were installed at the same place as in 2013 and 2016. Eight and two explosive shots with 20 and 100 kg charges, respectively, were detonated in December 5, 2019. The 2019 shot locations differ from 0.4 to 12 m from the corresponding previous shot locations. We successively observed the all explosions during nighttime nine hours continuous recording. We examine reflection phases on the seismic records that obtained by the previous and 2019 experiment to detect temporal change of subsurface seismic structure beneath Sakurajima volcano.

    The detection capability of various anomalous phenomena preceding volcanic eruptions has considerably progressed as the geophysical monitoring networks have become denser and multi-disciplinary. However, current eruption forecasting techniques, from a practical perspective, still have much scope for improvement because they largely depend on empirical techniques. In the past decade, three-dimensional modeling based on the electromagnetic sounding methods such as magnetotellurics (MT) have become a practical choice, and its recent applications to active volcanic fields has revealed certain common features among volcanoes. Information about the resistivity structure, especially in 'wet' volcanic fields, is useful for the provisional screening of the eruption potential from the viewpoint of the subsurface structure, and, thus, may contribute to the evaluation of eruption imminence in a broad sense. In this study, for evaluation purposes, we present the roles and possible further applications of the subsurface resistivity structure studies by demonstrating the preliminary results and interpretations of an MT survey that we performed in the Kuttara Volcanic Group, northern Japan.

    The Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake (M-JMA=6.7) occurred on September 6, 2018, in the Hokkaido corner region where the Kurile and northeastern Japan island arcs meet. We relocated aftershocks of this intraplate earthquake immediately after the main shock by using data from a permanent local seismic network and found that aftershock depths were concentrated from 20 to 40km, which is extraordinarily deep compared with other shallow intraplate earthquakes in the inland area of Honshu and Kyushu, Japan. Further, we found that the aftershock area consists of three segments. The first segment is located in the northern part of the aftershock area, the second segment lies in the southern part, and the third segment forms a stepover between the other two segments. The hypocenter of the main shock, from which the rupture initiated, is located on the stepover segment. The centroid moment tensor solution for the main shock indicates a reverse faulting, whereas the focal mechanism solution determined by using the first-motion polarity of the P wave indicates strike-slip faulting. To explain this discrepancy qualitatively, we present a model in which the rupture started as a small strike-slip fault in the stepover segment of the aftershock area, followed by two large reverse faulting ruptures in the northern and southern segments.

    We present intrinsic- and scattering-Q attenuation images for Usu volcano (Japan) by analyzing over 1800 vertical seismograms. By fitting the observed envelopes to the diffusion model, we obtained intrinsic and scattering attenuation values at three different frequency bands. Using a back-projection method and assuming a Gaussian-type weighting function, we obtained the 2D images of intrinsic and scattering attenuation. Resolution tests confirm the robustness and reliability of the obtained images. We found that scattering attenuation is the dominant process of energy loss in the frequency range analyzed, which suggests strong spatial heterogeneity. The resultant scattering attenuation images show an increase of attenuation toward the southwest from Toya caldera, which may correspond to deepening of the basement. We also identify an area of low intrinsic and scattering attenuation at the summit of Usu volcano which could be associated with old magma intrusions. Our results demonstrate a strong spatial relation between structural heterogeneities and attenuation processes in volcanic areas and confirm the efficiency of the method which can be used together with conventional imaging techniques.

    We examine very long period infrasonic signals accompanying volcanic eruptions near active vents at Lokon-Empung volcano in Indonesia, Aso, Kuchinoerabujima, and Kirishima volcanoes in Japan. The excitation of the very long period pulse is associated with an explosion, the emerging of an eruption column, and a pyroclastic density current. We model the excitation of the infrasound pulse, assuming a monopole source, to quantify the volume flux and cumulative volume of erupting material. The infrasound-derived volume flux and cumulative volume can be less than half of the video-derived results. A largely positive correlation can be seen between the infrasound-derived volume flux and the maximum eruption column height. Therefore, our result suggests that the analysis of very long period volcanic infrasound pulses can be helpful in estimating the maximum eruption column height.

    We examine the initial phases of explosion earthquakes accompanying Vulcanian eruptions at Lokon-Empung volcano in Indonesia to reveal the triggering process of explosive eruptions. In 2012-2013, 56 Vulcanian eruptions at Lokon-Empung were observed by our temporary observation network being comprised of four broadband seismometers and two infrasound microphones at 1.6-6.8 km from the active vent. The seismic records of each explosion earthquake share almost the same waveform characteristics of initial phases, consisting of a small compressional onset (P phase) and a subsequent large dilatational phase (D phase). Particle orbits of both phases show straight motion from beneath the active vent, which suggests that these phases are composed of a longitudinal body wave. For each explosion, the origin times of the P phase precedes 0.8-2.5 s before the occurrence of an explosion at the vent that are detected by infrasound data. Since the signal-to-noise ratio of the P phase is insufficient for a quantitative analysis, we analyze the D phase dominating the initial phases. Our analysis for the signals of 0.2-1.0 Hz shows the D phase are well explained by a cylindrical contraction source with a half cosine shaped time function located at 1.0-13 km depth beneath the active vent. We also recognize that some explosions are followed by a prominent tremor that coincides with continuous ash emission (ET). The seismic amplitudes and intensity of the D phase of events in ET are larger than the explosions without accompanying tremor (EX). The frequency distribution of the time interval from the previous eruption is also different in the events in ET and EX. The implosion source in the initial phases of explosion earthquakes at several km beneath the active vent has been reported at Sakurajima volcano. Since our result shows considerable agreement with the previous works at Sakurajima, both Lokon-Empung and Sakurajima may share similar initial processes of Vulcanian eruptions.

    Magnitude-frequency distributions of volcanic explosion earthquakes that are associated with occurrences of vulcanian and strombolian eruptions, or gas burst activity, are examined at six active volcanoes. The magnitude-frequency distribution at Suwanosejima volcano, Japan, shows a power-law distribution, which implies self-similarity in the system, as is often observed in statistical characteristics of tectonic and volcanic earthquakes. On the other hand, the magnitude-frequency distributions at five other volcanoes, Sakurajima and Tokachi-dake in Japan, Semeru and Lokon in Indonesia, and Stromboli in Italy, are well explained by exponential distributions. The statistical features are considered to reflect source size, as characterized by a volcanic conduit or chamber. Earthquake generation processes associated with vulcanian, strombolian and gas burst events are different from those of eruptions ejecting large amounts of pyroclasts, since the magnitude-frequency distribution of the volcanic explosivity index is generally explained by the power law.

    This paper reviews the eruption processes, as well as the processes leading up to the eruption, as revealed by multi-parameter geophysical observations. First, we briefly describe the history and development of geophysical observational methods in Japan. A prototype of multi-parameter geophysical observation had already been established at a few volcanoes in Japan 50 years ago. To obtain high-quality geophysical data, underground tunnels and boreholes had been constructed around volcanoes, and seismometers, tiltmeters, and strainmeters had been installed in them during the 1980s and 1990s. Broadband seismometers and a data logger with a GPS clock that are small and lightweight, were introduced in the mid-1990s. Combined with large data storage capacity in the data loggers and efficient data transmission using IP protocols, simultaneous multi-parameter geophysical observations have been intensively and continuously conducted since the early 2000s in order to reveal the eruption processes. Since then, various analysis methods suitable for multi-parameter observations have been developed. Although the time scales of volcanic eruptions vary widely, from several seconds to several decades, most of these scales are covered by multi-parameter geophysical observation. We review the advances and challenges for understanding not only the eruption processes, but also the precursory processes leading up to eruptions, which have been revealed by multi-parameter geophysical observations during the past decade. The explosive eruption processes, which include Plinian, Vulcanian, and Strombolian eruptions, and effusive eruptions, which include Hawaiian and dome-forming eruptions, are also reviewed. Physical models for these types of eruptions have been developed experimentally and theoretically, and examined later using geophysical observations. For each type of eruption, we briefly introduce the proposed physical models and describe their progress, mainly from the viewpoint of multi-parameter geophysical observations. The eruption processes of Plinian eruptions have been revealed mainly by worldwide seismic and infrasound observation networks and satellite images. Vulcanian and Strombolian eruptions are most intensively studied by multi-parameter geophysical observations, because of their high-frequency nature and accessibility to the proximity of active craters in deploying monitoring instruments. For example, the precursory processes of Vulcanian eruptions are characterized by inflation, relatively stable, and slight deflation stages of the volcano edifices, which are inferred by continuous crustal deformation measurements. Strombolian eruptions are understood as repeating strong gas bursts at the surface of liquid magma. Recently, new monitoring techniques such as high-speed cameras and portable radar units have been introduced to observe the Strombolian surface activities. Hawaiian eruptions are characterized by explosive lava fountains and large lava flows traveling more than several kilometers. Multi-parameter observations are quite useful for monitoring the locations of dike intrusions and lava fountains. Dome-forming eruptions have the longest time-scales among these eruption styles. Temporal fluctuations of dome growth are well monitored by geodetic and photogrammetric observations. Recent seismic observations of dome-forming have revealed the characteristic repeating earthquakes and provided new insights into the physical mechanisms of dome growth. Our understanding of the physical process of phreatic eruptions is quite limited relative to magmatic eruptions. Recently, tilt changes associated with tremors were sometimes observed before phreatic eruptions at several volcanoes, and may be forerunners of phreatic eruptions. We need much more data to understand the processes leading up to phreatic eruptions. Erupted volumes and rates are inferred from multi-parameter geophysical

    Although forecasting an occurrence of phreatic eruption is very difficult, it has been reported that some precursory activities often precede these eruptions at several volcanoes. In this study, we observed seismic activities before and during the 2008 phreatic eruption at Meakan-dake volcano, eastern Hokkaido, Japan, by using broadband seismometers and surface mount-type tiltmeters. The precursory increase in seismicity began in late September about 2 months before the first eruption on November 18. After several rises and falls in seismicity in October and in early November, a small volcanic tremor was observed early on November 16. Although the original velocity seismogram of the tremor generally appeared to be spindle shaped, an outstanding ramp function appeared in the displacement seismogram obtained by simple integration. Since the ramp function appeared only in the horizontal components and continued for about 3 min, which is sufficiently longer than the natural period of the seismometer, we regarded the ramp function as an expression of the tilting motions of seismic stations that was quantitatively confirmed by the strong similarity between horizontal displacement seismograms and tilt data from co-located biaxial tiltmeter. Azimuthal distribution of three tilting vectors obtained from broadband seismograms was not consistent with a simple spherical source but rather strongly suggested a vertical dike under the crater. In this study, we confirmed that an almost vertical single dike effectively explains the observed tilting vectors. The estimated volume increase in the dike was 4-5 x 10(4) m(3). The strike direction of the dike is highly consistent with the alignment of the hydrothermal area on and around the volcano. Our dike model also partially explains the changes in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement and in groundwater levels reported in previous research. Since a similar deformation coincided with a volcanic tremor preceding the 2006 eruption, we interpret that this must be an important preparatory process of phreatic eruptions at Meakan-dake volcano.

    We examine precursory signals of vulcanian eruptions at Suwanosejima volcano, southwest of Japan, by deploying seismic and tilt stations close to the active crater to understand the shallow conduit processes just before explosions. Vulcanian eruptions at Suwanosejima for the period from October 2009 to 2011 are often preceded by a sudden cessation of continuous tremor associated with continuous ash emissions. The amplitude of continuous tremor decreases within about 10 s, and tilt signal starts to show uplift of the active crater. Then, the pause of continuous tremor and uplift continue for about 1-2 min, and tilt amplitudes reach a few tens of nanoradians at a distance of 400 m from the active crater. As the pause time of continuous tremor before explosion becomes longer, the maximum amplitude of explosion earthquake and uplift signal become larger. Vulcanian eruptions are also observed during periods without continuous tremor. In these cases, tilt signals capture uplifts of the active crater for about 10 min before explosions and reach a few tens of nanoradians. Cessations of volcanic gas emissions are observed before some explosions during periods without continuous tremor (Mori et al. 2011). These observations suggest that pressurization in the shallow conduit is caused by an accumulation of volcanic gases and ash through the formation of 'cap' in the conduit, possibly composed of stiffened magma due to degassing, cooling, rheological changes, or other mechanisms.

    We conducted a small-aperture seismic array observation at Suwanose-jima volcano for the period from 1 October to 18 November 2010. The seismic array consists of 13 elements of short-period seismometers and 5 data loggers. We perform array analysis for continuous seismic records observed during this period to investigate the wave-field properties of several episodes of volcanic tremors and 30 explosion earthquakes. Averages of the slowness values and back azimuths of volcanic tremors are estimated to be 0.8-1.4 s/km and 0°-40°, respectively. This suggests that the tremor wave consists of body and surface waves that propagate from the active crater. The array analyses and particle motions of explosion earthquakes indicate that the initial parts of the waveforms of explosion earthquakes are S waves that come from the direction of the active crater. The slowness values of the S waves of the explosion earthquakes are 0.3-0.5 s/km. Variation of the slowness value reflects the depth change of the explosion sources.

    The second round of the repetitive seismic experiment was carried out on ecember 2010 in Sakurajima Volcano after an inflation period in June. The temporary seismic network was reconstructed well for the 2009's network within 0.1m northward and 0.2m eastward in the average. The data acquisition was successful in 245 of the 248 deployed stations. The amplitude variation ranged within 0.8 to 1.5 times of the 2009's data and the travel time differences were less than 8ms. The reproduction of the waveform was also successful. The residual seismograms were made and include variation of the phase appearance with referring to the 2009's seismogram at the corresponding station. Most of the variations are found around 1.5 to 3 seconds of the residual seismograms.

    Post-eruptive crustal activity after the 2000 eruption of Usu volcano was investigated by seismic and geodetic field observations. Remarkable features of the magmatic eruptions that occur almost every 30 years include lava dome formation and strong precursory earthquakes. On the other hand, rapid dome subsidence was observed by electronic distance meter (EDM) measurement after the 1977-1982 summit eruption. Since the 2000 eruption, seismic activity at a shallow part under the summit crater has remained at a high level relative to that after the 1977-1982 eruption, although eruption occurred at the western foot of the volcano during the 2000 eruption. To reveal the shallow crustal activity in the inter-eruptive period around the summit area, seismicity and crustal deformation have been investigated since 2006. Dense temporary seismic observations and hypocenter relocation analysis using a three-dimensional velocity structure model revealed that the focal area is localized along the U-shaped fault that developed in the dome-forming stage of the 1977-1982 eruption. Three major focal clusters are distributed on the southwestern side of Usu-Shinzan cryptodome, which was built up during the 1977-1982 eruption. For the seven major events with magnitudes larger than 1, the focal mechanism was a large dip-slip component, which suggests the subsidence of Usu-Shinzan cryptodome. Interferomatetric satellite aperture radar (InSAR) image analysis and repeated GPS measurements revealed subsidence of the summit dome, which is almost centered at the Usu-Shinzan cryptodome. The area of rapid deformation is restricted to a small area around the summit crater. The estimated rate of dome subsidence relative to the crater floor is about 3 cm/year. These results strongly suggest that subsidence of Usu-Shinzan is associated with the small earthquakes along the U-shaped fault that surrounds the cryptodome. According to prior seismic and geodetic studies, it is thought that most of the magma rising under the summit crater during the 2000 eruption stopped around a depth of 2 km below sea level, which is sufficiently deep relative to the focal area of the present seismicity. A part of the magma intruded under the western foot and contributed to the 2000 eruption. We conclude that the 2000 eruption scarcely affected the shallow crustal activity under the summit crater, and that Usu-Shinzan cryptodome is continuing to subside just as it was before the 2000 eruption. The shallow volcanic earthquakes that began increasing from 1995 are closely related to the successive subsidence of the summit domes. Temporal change in fumarole temperature suggests a relationship between the shallow earthquakes and cooling of the magma that intruded under Usu-Shinzan during the 1977-1982 eruption.

    An active seismic survey with unprecedented density of seismometers found a high velocity zone to the west of the summit of Asama Volcano. Japan. The high velocity zone coincides with an area of magma-filled crack (dike) intrusion associated with the 2004 eruptions inferred from precise earthquake relocations and ground deformation modeling. It also coincides with an area of high resistivity surrounded by low resistivity, indicating that the solidification of magma due to repeating intrusions is responsible for the high velocity. This thus endorses the magma pathway previously speculated by seismic and geodetic observations. These findings demonstrate that dense seismic exploration combined with geophysical monitoring is an effective way to understand the dynamics of volcanic eruptions. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

    We investigate the basement structure of the Hokkaido Komagatake volcano, Japan, by an artificial seismic survey. By inverting first arrival time data, a three-dimensional P-wave velocity model down to 3 km b.s.l. is obtained. The resultant velocity model reasonably reflects regional geological features and is consistent with Bouguer anomalies. Around the Komagatake volcano, the velocity basement deepens to NNW on the whole, reflecting the deepening of the geological basement toward that direction. Higher velocities are observed in Oshima and Kameda Mountains where Neogene volcanic and sedimentary rocks are present. On the contrary, lower velocities are observed in lowlands surrounding the volcano, where Komagatake deposits and Quaternary sediments crop out. At the volcano, a prominent high velocity zone was detected from the surface down to a depth of 1.5 km b.s.l. Above the base, probably a contrast between the core part with higher proportion of massive lavas and intrusions and flank areas dominated by loose pyroclastic deposits caused the prominent high velocity. Below the base, it is thought that solidified intrusive bodies largely contribute to making the high velocity. Further, a high velocity elongates from Kameda Mountains to beneath the summit. This is due to a shallower of the volcano substratum. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    [1] We discovered an anomalous very long period (VLP) signal ( duration: about 60 s) in the broadband seismic record of the precursory swarm of a small phreatic explosion at the Meakan-dake volcano, Hokkaido, Japan, in 2006; this signal was masked by a short-period tremor in the original velocity waveform, but a considerable DC step appeared in the displacement trace. Since such a step results from a tilt change, we interpreted the observed trace as being a combination of rotational ( tilt) and translational ( displacement) motions. The apparent displacement step in the VLP signal indicates subsidence of the summit crater. Owing to limited data, we attempted deflating the Mogi source and simulating the seismic record including both motions. When only rotational motion is considered, the simulated waveform explains well the general features of the observed trace. However, the combined trace has incompatible phases, suggesting that a more complicated source process should be considered.

    Deformation under the ground excites not only translational motion but also tilt changes, although seismologists usually analyze recorded waveforms under an assumption that seismogram only expresses translational motion. Since broadband seismometers have high enough sensitivity to tilt changes, the seismograms are sometimes contaminated by tilting motion at a seismic station. To check the effect of tilt change on seismogram recorded by a broadband velocity seismometer, we performed a simple experiment with a CMG40T seismometer and a tilt sensor of surface mount type. Tilt changes yield one-sided oscillation of the pendulums in a horizontal transducer. Such particular oscillation is clearly identified in the displacement trace calculated from the original velocity seismogram. Theoretical consideration predicts that slow temporal changes in tilt angle correlate with a time function of the apparent displacement of seismogram. Since results of our experiment well agree with the prediction, we estimate the conversion coefficient from the apparent displacement to tilt angle and confirm that the coefficient obtained experimentally well corresponds with the value from theoretical prediction. As a possible example in an active volcano, we consider slow isotropic volume change near a seismic station and calculate synthetic seismogram due to the volume change.

    A time-dependent model for volume changes in pressure sources at Asama volcano is developed from precise leveling data collected since 1902. The optimal source model is determined by comparing five different models (a model with three types of spherical sources, single dike, and dike with a spherical source) during three periods: 1935 to 1939, 1939 to 1950/1953, and 1990 to November 2004. The optimal parameters for each model are estimated by employing a genetic algorithm (GA). The model with two spherical sources was selected as the optimal model. In this model, one of the sources was estimated to be located at a depth of approximately 6 km beneath Kurofu volcano; the other source was estimated to be located close to Maekake volcano at a depth of approximately 2 km. The volume changes in the two spherical sources are calculated using the Akaike's Bayesian information criterion (ABIC) for the period from 1902 to 2005. During the period from 1902 to 1943, a large inflation was estimated in a source at a depth of approximately 6 km beneath Kurofu volcano, which is an older volcano at the base of Asama. After 1943, a rapid deflation continued until 1967. This rapid deflation changed to a marginal inflation that continued from 1967 until 2005. The temporal change in the pressure source beneath Kurofu volcano exhibits a strong positive correlation with the eruption frequency. The leveling data does not suggest a significant volume change in the source beneath Kurofu volcano during the quiet period between 1962 and 2005. During the 20th century, magma appears to have been episodically supplied beneath Asama volcano. In particular, the inflation of the source beneath Kurofu volcano, and probably the magma supply, reached a peak from 1930 to 1940. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The three-dimensional P-wave velocity structure of Usu volcano, Japan, is investigated by using first arrival time data of the 2001 active seismic survey. The velocity structure down to the Pre-Neogene basement below the volcano is revealed. The most prominent feature of the velocity model is the deepening of the basement toward the south-southwest. The resultant velocity model contributes to the relocations of 2000 eruption precursory earthquakes. The precursory seismic activity, which reflects pre-eruptive magma movements, is divided into three parts: (1) a sub-vertical distribution indicating magma ascent to beneath the summit of the volcano, (2) a northward migration that indicates magma movement resulting in the subsequent eruptions at the northwestern foot, and (3) a horizontal southward migration possibly indicating intrusion of sill. The northward and southward migrating earthquakes are constrained by the dipping basement structure such that most of the events occur within the middle Miocene or Pre-Neogene layer. The geographical distribution of craters and the upheavals of past eruptions are also constrained by the subsurface basement. At the northern foot of Usu Volcano, the distribution of these craters and upheavals is such that they are enclosed by the subsurface basement, which becomes shallower toward the north. On the other hand, no traces of eruptions are found in the southern and southwestern foots where the basement deepens toward the south-southwest. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    A joint dense seismic observation experiment was conducted during the period of September 2002~April 2005 in cooperation of researchers of national universities under the national project for prediction of volcanic eruption. Major objectives include seismic exploration of the subsurface structure of Fuji volcano and surrounding area as well as array observation of deep low frequency earthquakes, the activity of which increased in 2000-2001 beneath the volcano. We installed 28 seismographs temporarily on and around Fuji volcano and the data was transmitted to the Volcano Research Center (VRC), Earthquake Research Institute by satellite, radio and cable telemetry systems. We further collected seismic data of permanent stations around Fuji volcano operated by related research institutions. All the data was collected and picked at VRC. In this initial report we describe the brief outline of the joint experiment, and summarize the preliminary results of analyses on the seismic velocity structure of Fuji volcano and wave characteristics of a low frequency earthquake, which occurred on 11 September 2003.

    A group of seismologists from eleven universities operated a dense temporary seismic network from July 1999 to July 2001 in and around the Hidaka Collision Zone, Hokkaido, Japan, where the Kurile Island arc and the northeastern Japan arc meet and collide. All waveform data were telemetered by way of a communication satellite and recorded continuously. We obtained seven thousand well-located hypocenters and 351 focal mechanisms. This research forms a part of ""The new Program of the Study and Observation for Earthquake Prediction"" in Japan started after the Hyogoken-nanbu (Kobe) earthquake in 1995.

    There was intense acoustic activity associated with the eruption of Mount Usu, which began on March 31, 2000. Repetitive phreatic explosions generated many isolated infrasonic signals, which were observed at plural acoustic stations. During the periods when acoustic activity was high, infrasonic pulses as many as 200 were identified every 10 minutes. Source location of infrasonic signals could be well identified from the records of the low frequency microphone network. Two active craters, Nishiyama and Konpirayama craterlets, are clearly distinguished by sound source determination analysis in spite of their proximity (〜1 km). To investigate temporal change in the acoustic activity from April to June, 2000, we developed a method to detect arrival and amplitude of infrasonic signals automatically. The number of automatically identified infrasonic signals exceeds 1.46 million during three months. It seems that there is a good correlation between acoustic activity and seismic signal amplitude. Patterns of acoustic activity and infrasonic pulse shapes observed at Usu volcano are very similar to those observed at Stromboli volcano, Italy. We named the acoustic activity attended with phreatic explosion which scatters a lot of clods, "mud-pool Strombolian type". Phreatic explosion excites not only infrasonic pulses but also seismic signals observed before the arrival of an infrasonic pulse. Existence of a Rayleigh wave phase with a large amplitude suggests that the seismic wave is excited at a shallow part of the crater.

    [1] An earthquake swarm occurred under the Hida Mountains in central Japan in 1998. The focal area, which expanded from south to north, was distributed above the low-velocity and high-attenuation zone, which lies under the main range. During the swarm, there was a migration of focal areas with time delays. In this paper, we investigate the spatiotemporal distribution of earthquakes in the swarm and discuss the phenomenon that must have controlled the seismicity. Understanding the complicated spatial pattern of seismicity, we investigate the dependency of the occurrence of earthquakes on the static stress changes caused by preceding earthquakes. Our findings show that, for each of 18 major earthquakes (magnitudes 4.0 or higher), the estimated distribution of the resulting Coulomb failure stress corresponds to the expansion of focal areas and the distribution of the seismically quiescent region. However, the detailed structure of seismicity cannot be explained only by the static stress changes. We discuss two additional factors which may control delayed fractures: flow of underground water for the seismicity around the southernmost focal cluster and stress corrosion process for the leaps of seismicities. The results of this study suggest that the 1998 Hida swarm was strongly affected by the disturbances of a static stress field that was created by the swarm itself, although the magnitudes of static stress change are small. The seismic activity was initiated by swarm-type seismicity around the southernmost cluster and then expanded northward gradually due to the increase in static stress.

    N-type earthquakes sometimes occur before the eruption of andesitic volcanoes, but their source mechanism has not been understood well. Their waveforms have stationary periods and decay slowly resembling to damped oscillation. They have common characteristics of spectra among the different stations these spectral peaks appear at almost equal intervals of 1.0 Hz with common sharpness. We made detailed analysis on the N-type earthquakes observed at Asama volcano in July 1995. During 10 days activity, the duration of each earthquake increased gradually from 40 s to 3 min, while the peak frequency decreased from 2.7 to 0.8 Hz. Hypocenters are distributed slightly west under the summit crater with 0.4-1.7 km above sea-level. Source mechanism of the N-type earthquake is determined using a waveform inversion technique. Synthetic waveforms are calculated using 2D finite difference method. Surface topography is included in the calculation to incorporate the case that the source region is higher than the stations. Since the optimum solution has a large volumetric component, we approximated the volumetric part as a volume change of fluid filled sphere or cylinder or plane crack, and decomposed the solution into volumetric and non-volumetric part. Consequently, it is revealed that the optimum solution can be expressed as "crack expansion (contraction) + small fault slip", because the spectral peak distribution advocates the crack expansion model among these three candidates. The frequency change during this activity may be explained by the time variation of the sound speed of inner fluid from 300 to 100 m/s. The change of the void fraction of water-steam phase might have caused the decrease of the sound speed. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    初年度である2021年度は,北海道南部のしかべ間歇泉で本研究課題の開始前から実施している多項目連続観測を継続して噴出孔内の映像撮影や圧力測定を試みたほか,鬼首間歇泉で取得した熱赤外カメラ及び空気振動観測のデータ解析,霧島硫黄山の噴気観測,地下構造の深部からの熱水供給率を変化させたときの熱水流動の応答に関する数値計算などを実施した. しかべ間歇泉では,間歇泉噴出孔の保守業者の厚意により,6月および9月の作業時に業者所有の孔内撮影用カメラを間歇泉内に挿入し,孔内の状況把握や孔底深度の計測,噴出時の気泡発生状況の動画撮影等を行った.この調査により,掘削深度は約27mであり,ケーシング部分は上部の20mで下部の約7mは裸孔となっていることが始めて確認された.また,井戸の下端には熱水溜まりのような空洞は存在せず,ケーシング下端や裸孔部分の亀裂から井戸内に高温水が流入していることが明らかになった.1月には研究費で購入した圧力センサーを用いて噴出中の孔内圧力を測定し,噴出サイクルを通した井戸内圧力の時系列データを取得した.この調査時には,噴出ごとの熱水噴出体積の推定を試み,過去に見積もられた400L程度であることを確認した. 鬼首間歇泉では,間欠泉噴出時に観測した熱赤外映像および空気振動観測のデータ解析を進めた.熱赤外映像は時間的な差分を取ることで短周期変動を強調し,熱水の上方への噴出を調べた結果,周期1秒以下の調和振動が見られることを見出した.空気振動にも同様の振動が見られることから,噴出孔の極浅部で共鳴現象が起きていることが示唆された. 宮崎県の霧島硫黄山では,自然の噴気について熱赤外映像の試験観測を行った.予備的な解析では,連続的な蒸気を噴出する噴気にも調和振動的な振る舞いが認められることから,間歇泉現象や噴気現象には浅部に共鳴現象を励起する類似のプロセスがあることが示唆された.

    We conducted continuous observations of ground vibration and sound waves excited by slush flow occurring on Mt. Fuji and developed a source location estimation system for seismic signals. The observation equipment was deployed mainly along the Fuji-Subaru line from December to May every year from 2018. Unfortunately, slush flows did not occur for two seasons after the start of this project, and we could not collect the data as originally planned. However, on March 21, 2021, the last year of the project, slush flows occurred along the Fuji-Subaru line, and we are waiting for the final data collection. In parallel with the field observations, we have also developed and implemented a source location estimation system for seismic signals using the spatial distribution of ground motion amplitudes, which is being tested at the Mount Fuji Research Institute and Hokkaido University.

    The goal of this study is to understand the mechanics of the emergence of a lava dome. To achieve the goal, we conducted a seismic experiment in Showa-shinzan, a lava dome emerged during the 1943-1945 eruption of Usu Volcano, northern Japan. We imaged the seismic velocity structure beneath the lava dome by seismic interferometry using ambient seismic noise. Our results image a high-velocity body beneath the lava dome, indicating that the lava dome is mainly composed of actively intruded magma, rather than passive uplift of the surface. Also, we fortuitously found previously unidentified volcanic earthquakes that may result from thermal cooling of the intruded lava. Details of these earthquakes will be investigated later.

    Motoshirane volcano had phreatic eruption on January 23, 2018 with casualties. This study aimed at the followings: (1) elucidating the eruption mechanism, (2) monitoring and prediction of on-going volcanic activity and (3) assessment of potential lahar. Despite the volcanic tremor two minutes prior to the eruption, we could not find significant precursory seismic activity. We observed temporal tilt changes at the borehole stations and they are explained by a crack inflation and deflation. We observed no anomalous surface temperature at the new vent in March, 2018, however, from the aeromagnetic survey, the temperature of the regional volcanic area at depth seems elevated over the years. The total ejected mass was estimated as 36,000 tons which is 1/10 of that of 2014 Mt. Ontake eruption. From the chemical analyses of the ash, the ejected gas has different origin from known fumaroles. We also made risk assessment of lahar.

    The present project proposes a method to evaluate eruption cloud volume using acoustic (infrasound) signals. The finding is that infrasound-derived cloud volume, that is obtained by infrasound signal analysis, is well correlate with buoyancy-derived volume, which derived from a mathematical model with the maximum eruption cloud height data. Difference between both estimates can be explained by time evolution of eruption cloud during ascending process. Since infrasound data can be transmitted in real-time, the method can contribute the hazard evaluation of volcanic eruption. A visual observation tool for volcanic eruption cloud synchronized GNSS time stump is also developed. Considering kinematic features of eruption cloud with video observation, accuracy of volume estimation with acoustic observation can be improved in the future works.

    Comprehensive investigation on the 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake and its disaster was conducted. Mainshock rupture initiated at deepest part and major slip was occurred in 20-30km deep. Multiple simultaneous landslides in Atsuma town was induced by combination of strong ground shaking and weak sliding layer between pyroclastic fall deposit layers. Halloysite cray minerals was discovered in all sliding layers. Simulation suggested landslides might attack residential houses within 6 seconds. Observed peak ground motions in nearby area were larger than common distance attenuation model. Severe wooden house damage in Mukawa town was due to amplified seismic waves due to site effects. Sounding and boring investigation revealed filled low-density volcanic ash and higher groundwater level in liquefaction area.

    We obtained the seismic and acoustic energies and durations of 2014 and 2015 eruptions of Kuchinoerabujima. We estimated the altitude of the eruption plume by a force at the seismic source and compare with the plume altitude by visual observation for the 2015 eruption. We compared seismic waveforms and tilt changes of eruptions in Japan and clarified common features of the eruptions of Kusatsushiranesan, Ontakesan and Kuchinoerabujima. We detected the radar reflection intensity corresponding to eruption plumes of Sakurajima and Shinmoedake. We estimated the plume height of the Sakurajima eruption on November 13, 2017 as 4 km by using the radar reflection intensity, although the visual plume height was unknown due to bad weather. By comparing the radar reflection intensities of the 2017 and 2018 eruptions of Shinmoedake with the plume altitudes by visual observation, we accumulated the basic data for establishing a method for estimating altitudes of eruption plumes using weather radars.

    Geophysical, geological and petrological research of Klyuchevskoy volcano, Kamchatka, was carried out. We installed four tiltmeters to construct the network with seismographs for monitoring of activity of the volcano. We have also continued to maintain the network, which has been working during our research period. Continuous tilt measurements detected cyclic deformation with every 10 - 20 minutes. This monitoring result enables to construct the model for the Strombolian type eruptions. On the other hand, petrological and geochemical analysis reveals that eruptive materials during the last 3000 years can be divided into two types of basaltic magma, one of which had been gradually replaced by another type of basaltic magma. In addition, although eruptive activity has continued intermittently during the last 80 years, magma system beneath the volcano has changed after each dormant period.

    Volcanic phenomena observed in four eruptions during the 20th century were compiled and characteristics of precursory seismic activities of these eruptions were compared, in order to enhance short term prediction of volcanic eruptions. We showed similarities of earlier stage of the precursory activities between the summit and flank eruptions, while there exist unique activities only before the flank eruptions. For long term prediction, seismic activities and ground deformations in dormant period were investigated. The seismic activities beneath the summit are caused by subsidence of the 1977-82 crypto-dome. Beneath Usu volcano, the basement layer gets shallower toward the north. Northward and southward migrating seismic activities before the 2000 eruption occurred along the dipping basement, suggesting the activities were constrained by the subsurface structure. Asymmetric patterns of ground deformations caused by lava and crypto-domes were related to the subsurface basement structure. Furthermore, subsurface velocity structure of Hokkaido-Komagatake volcano was revealed for future comparative studies, and a high velocity region was detected beneath the summit.

    2006年度は試作機で得られた成果をもとにして,無線装置の作成を進めた.複数受信点への同報性に優れた無線装置を用いることで,トリガー発生装置とカメラの配置を自由に取ることができ,ステレオ撮影で重要となる視点間距離を大きくすることができる.また,撮影するカメラの台数も理論上は無制限に増やすことが可能となる.しかしその一方で,有線系システムでは現れなかった同期信号の遅延が生じることが予想された. 装置作成においては(有)ユニテクノ研究開発部の石川和也氏にご協力をいただいた.ユニテクノ製の特定小電力無線伝送装置は,送受信機間の距離を約2kmまで広げられることの他に,信号伝達の時間遅れがミリ秒の精度で一定となっているという特徴がある.この時間遅れ精度の保証は,カメラ同士の撮影時刻同期精度を保つ上で非常に有用である.無線同期装置のベースとしてユニテクノ製UM3型無線装置を利用した.本研究ではUM3型無線装置を1対Nの組み合わせで利用し,送信機側にGPS同期のパルス発生装置やトリガー信号のコントローラーを組み入れた.受信機側には2005年度の有線系試作時に作成済みのシャッター信号/カウンター信号分離装置を接続し,その先にカメラと収録用PCがつながれることとなる. 撮影時刻の精度を高める目的で,送信機側にGPSモジュールを搭載した.送信機は起動後のスタンバイ状態でGPS時計との同期動作を開始し,スタートボタン押下後の毎分0秒から設定されたシャッタースピードで同期信号を送出する.無線伝送による遅延時間のゆらぎを低減するために,固定データ長の固定周期で同期シャッター信号を送信する.データ送信は30fpsに相当する33.3ms毎(誤差±400μs以内)に行われる. 機器の細部調整は若干残っているが,予定年度内に計画通りの撮影装置の作成を完了することができた.
